Just beat the event for the 38th time and now I'm done with this stupid poo poo. Honestly, feeling like there were some stakes involved in the games was kind of fun, and seeing a number of different decks I hadn't seen before was cool (if I really hated it, I obviously would have either spent $10 for the levels or said gently caress it), but it's still kind of a relief to be done so I can just play more casually and/or draft until Eldraine.

Dude, that's pretty insane to grind them all out in a row. What deck did you have most success with?

Putting it in writing did make it feel crazier to me, but fortunately I tended to be pretty lucky and my game 2 winrate was pretty solid, so it wasn't as bad as it sounds--I never really went past the 15 daily wins except by one or two, and don't think i finished them every day. I mostly played a Boros mentor deck modified from the precon to add more of Tajic, Aurelia and the skynights that I got from drafting since I only started playing in July and didn't want to burn a bunch of wildcards before rotation. It plays fast enough that games tended to be pretty quick, and holds up well against cavalcade. Simic flash games were miserable though.

Narset doesn't even stop Light Up The Stage, Experimental Frenzy, or Risen Reef. Not to mention Kethis combo which gets its massive card advantage through the graveyard. It's perfectly fine in Standard.

No but you see, my deck is very bad and I lose with it a lot, so I'm going to laser-focus on one particular card as the sole reason for all my losses

I tried to put my current mono black control deck together in M20 preview and it was bumpy going. What exactly is trade efficiently here because it sounds like you want it to wipe their board and also Unmoored Ego all their Fields.

Wiping the board doesn't do much when your opponent is generating an endless supply of 2/2s. It's purely getting you tempo, you haven't actually answered the threat. If you want to beat Field, you need some pressure of your own.

Well yes presumably by the time they have a giant fuckoff board you have a big flying demon or something to punch em in the face.

I've been grinding the event all week. I've played quite a few decks. Highest win rate by far has been a Golos Field of the dead Gates deck so far. I love elementals. I've tried a few different versions of a Yarok/Dread presence deck which is super fun when it goes off but is way too inconsistent. Also played a lot of temur elementals. I got really, really tired of my risen reef never resolving or if it did resolve, never surviving through my opponents turn. Ran a bunch of bant and simic ramp. It's fun to ramp into something huge but it happens so infrequently I just stopped. Played a lot of grixis as well. Tried aggro and control. It felt like whichever version I was running I'd queue into lots of decks designed to beat my archetype. So I'd swap and then the meta would shift back. I also played a little simic flash. I can't stand the deck and hate playing against it with a passion, so I decided to join the dark side and play it in order to better understand it's weaknesses. It had the 2nd highest win% for me. The deck is almost as un-fun to play as it is to play against. I haven't tried feather, cavalcade, priest of the forgotten gods, azorious flyers or esper control/heros.

no deck is rotation-proof, the new cards change the meta which makes your deck worse even if it doesn't technically lose any cards

Yeah but if I didn't have those cards now I wouldn't think about crafting them (I don't plan to play Historic), so I'm just gonna continue what I'm doing and grind with suboptimal decks from 6 months ago while I use the incomplete spoilers to theorycraft Tier 3 jank Edit: A Wolf Deck will work, I just know it, that's my goal for the new set CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Sep 16, 2019 |

There's like a hundred more cards in the set and you only need one really good one to define an entire archetype (ie Field of the Dead). Trying to theory craft a deck from what is spoiled now is just as futile as trying to make a rotation proof deck.

Looks like this will be a high power, slow speed limited format, what with the adventure cards providing free card advantage and all the common beaters at 4 mana like the 2/5 paladin and the 4/4 beast

 "Yorvo Lord of the Garen Preserve" GGG Legendary Creature - Giant Noble Yorvo Lord of the Garen Preserve enters with four +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever another green creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on Yorvo. Then, if the creature's power is greater than Yorvo's power, put another +1/+1 counter on Yorvo.
